Differences between the Genius Smart Plug
- Matthew Hart
Overview
This is both a switching device and a signal boosting device. It can be used in place of the Electric Relay (which is a tamperproof alternative, but requires electrical wiring during installation).
The Smart Plug is installed by being inserted into a standard 3-pin plug socket.
Each Genius Hub system uses a number of signal boosting devices, such as the Smart Plugs to make the system work reliably, and increasing the life of the battery powered devices by providing easy lines of communication back to the Genius Hub.
